Shipping line NORASIA

In June 2000 CSAV acquired Norasia, allowing it to enter the main East-West trades, while maintaining its focus on its other activities. Since the acquisition, Norasia has grown dramatically, backed by CSAV's resources. An early focus was on the Asia to Europe trade but rapid expansion saw Norasia become a key player in the East-West trades, extending its reach across the Pacific and across the Atlantic.

Compantildea Sudamericana de Vapores (CSAV) is a Chilean publicly traded shipping company, presently the largest in Latin America. CSAV, one of the oldest shipping companies in the world, was founded in 1872. Operating across five continents, it offers regular, fixed container services and the ability to carry a wide variety of conventional cargoes. The company also owns vessels specially designed for frozen cargo, cars, bulk cargo and forest products. It operates an extensive intermodal service, other complementary operations such as storage areas and pier services, and owns a maritime forwarding agency, and a container terminal in Santiago.
